Hi all,

Apologies for not getting more updates to the site - but the great hopes I had for telecommunications along the way did not pan out.

I will be home shortly, and I hope to be able to give a good roundup of the last number of weeks - a lot has happened, that’s for sure.

Until then, a warm goodbye from Sunny Gambia!

And to start off, Happy New Year to you all.

This short(’ish) - post is just to let you know of a little trip that I am about to embark on with some friends.

The short version: Myself and two friends are going to take a 27 year old Mercedes Benz 280CE all the way to The Gambia. Why? For fun - and also for charity, as after we have arrived in Banjul in The Gambia, the car will be auctioned off and all proceeds will be going to a local charity organisation.

This trip is also known as the Plymouth-Banjul challenge.

A Mayo News Article can be found here:

Information: The main site with information regarding the challenge can be found here:

Pictures of our car here

One of two pages that I hope I will be update en route with some information from the trip here and here

An approximate route and timeline of where we will be can be found here

I have no idea if I will be able to post during the trip, but if I can - I will (maybe)

So until February some time - have a good one, and I’ll see you then
